Windows 7: Comprehensive Deployment Compilation by Jeremy Chapman

Jeremy Chapman of Microsoft’s Windows Deployment division published a compilation “Windows 7: Best of Deployment” —

“While the thirty items listed in my “Windows 7: Best of Deployment Compilation” seems like quite a bit, you should be able to get through first 20 items listed within a day. At that point, you’ll have a pretty good idea of what everything does and be able to get started with Win7 deployment project. Items 21-34 are more at the hands-on level and will explain individual tools, while blogs will often provide workarounds and tips for things not found in the documentation. If you follow the sequence of everything listed below, you’ll be relative proficient in operating system in under a week. My advice would be to start creating builds and using the tools as early as possible — nothing is more valuable than learning by experience, even if the experience is in a set of virtual test machines,” Jeremy said.

Good luck, Happy Windows 7 deployment!

Overviews:

The following guides are mostly written content and will take anywhere from 10 to 60 minutes to read through each one.

Video Demonstrations:

Once you make it through the overviews, these videos will put many of the concepts together and make them more real. More videos can be found here, but I am highlighting the important and more detailed ones.

Deeper Technical Guidance

Once you’ve read the overviews, watched the videos and downloaded the tools, these deeper guides will explain how to use the tools. Guidance included with the tools themselves tends to be pretty good, but the online guidance in some cases is more up-to-date.
